haipakka

== Finnish == === Etymology === Many dialectal variants (hailakka, haijakka, haitakka). hailakka may be the original as it is also found in Karelian, which also has Karelian hailata (“to rush, run around”). If so, it may be from hailakka (“pale, faded, wishy-washy”), as fast things have an indistinct colour. The consonant variations would be sound-symbolic. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈhɑi̯pɑkːɑ/, [ˈhɑ̝i̯pɑ̝kːɑ̝] Rhymes: -ɑipɑkːɑ Syllabification(key): hai‧pak‧ka Hyphenation(key): hai‧pak‧ka === Noun === haipakka (colloquial) fast speed ==== Usage notes ==== Only the partitive singular form haipakkaa is usually used. ==== Declension ==== === Further reading === “haipakka”, in Kielitoimiston sanakirja [Dictionary of Contemporary Finnish]‎[1] (in Finnish) (online dictionary, continuously updated), Kotimaisten kielten keskuksen verkkojulkaisuja 35, Helsinki: Kotimaisten kielten tutkimuskeskus (Institute for the Languages of Finland), 2004–, retrieved 2 July 2023
